This page exists to clarify and decide upon the proposed release targets and milestones in preparation for a 1.0 release.

Background

Currently, a small set of milestones are defined in the MadWifi Trac system. These milestones have been the subject of discussion in recent times, and it is clear that we should collectively review the release process and decide upon some more granular and specific targets than what currently exists. The main goal of this process is to make a first release ASAP, and reprioritize and define all of the required steps to achieve a version 1.0 release.

Proposed Release Model

We should make frequent minor releases (0.9.XX) focusing on adding more features, backporting features from madwifi-old and fixing major bugs. These releases should generate interest from the users of madwifi (ie, new features, major bugs fixed), resulting in more bug reports and contributed patches. They should also set a baseline for the next minor release. When we have a sufficient amount of features existing in trunk, and our milestones near completion, focus should turn to resolving all outstanding bugs possible in preparation for a 1.0 release; a feature freeze.
